Ghana international defender Kwabena Adusei got on target for Mpumalanga Black Aces in their 3-2 triumph over Moroka Swallows in the South African Absa Premier Soccer League on Saturday afternoon. 

The f0rmer Asante Kotoko center-back who earned his first Ghana call-up during the last AFCON 2015 round of qualifier, restored Black Aces' lead with a great header from a corner just before the end of the first-half.

Aces, the visitors had a taken a 1-0 lead early in the game but the host equalised and took the 27-year-old to restore their lead at the Volkswagen Dobsonville Stadium in Johannesburg.

The goal is Adusei's first abroad since joining Black Aces as a free agent after leaving Ghanaian Premier League giants Asante Kotoko.

Swallows came into the game after going a goal behind, but their passing in the final third was poor and saw them unable to fashion any decent scoring chances until Larry Cohen levelled matters five minutes before the break.

Cohen found his maiden goal for the Birds after turning home a Dikgang Mabalane corner to level the scores at 1-1.

Parity only lasted five minutes when Aces re-took the lead on the stroke of halftime after Kwabena Adusei headed home an Onyekachi Okonkwo corner-kick.

Adusei was unused in both of Ghana's games against Guinea during the week.
